I bought an audiobook on my iPhone and I can't find it.

I purchased an audiobook from my iPhone 5c. I couldn't find it in iBooks, or Music or anyplace else. The only place that I can play it, is when I attach my iPhone to my iMac and view what is on my phone in iTunes. I can then play the audiobook. I bought the audiobook so that I could listen to it on trips, so having to be in front of my computer won't work for me.
I ended up buying the book version also, just in case I can't get this resolved. I'm also tempted to rebuy it via iTunes on the iMac and THEN sync it up with my iPhone and iPad.
I've checked Sync Audiobooks in iTunes but it doesn't show up there.
In iTunes I've gone to File -> Devices -> Transfer Purchases but to no avail.
In iTunes I've clicked on Store -> Check for Available Downloads and it's still not appearing anyplace except on the iPhone IN iTunes.
I've restarted iTunes, the iPhone and the iMac and still no change.
I've gone through the forums and have tried just about every suggestion that was given, which helped those others, but I haven't gotten there yet.
Any help would be appreciated.

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download. If it's not on your computer's iTunes (it will be in the Books part of your library if it is) nor on a backup then you will need to copy it from your 4S to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) and you can then sync it to your iPhone 5

Gift audiobook downloaded to iPhone and now can't find it?

I purchased a gift audiobook thru iTunes and it was emailed to my daughter. She downloaded it on her iPhone and now she cannot find it? She isn't sure if it finished downloading. Suggestions?

Hi there melbrady,
If the download didn't finish, or you can't find the purchase, you can re-download the purchase via the iBooks Store. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Who's your carrier?
What country are you in?
Was it from a shop or a personal deal?
If your phone doesn't function on the cellular network, goto the carrier first

When you synced in iTunes did you select your phone in devices on t left column and then click on tones int eh window on the right. When you synced did you tick all tones and tick sync and then click sync at the bottom of the window on the right? Was the ton ein the tones folder in the library folder?

I recently got an iPhone and can't find it. How do you locate it?

If you set up Find my iPhone, go to http://icloud.com and track it. If you didn't set up this service then it's lost for good.

I got a new iPhone, and I can not find a app I had on my iTouch.

I can not find a app I purchased. I paid for it on my iTouch and I am trying to transfer it to my iPhone. Any ideas.

Which app is it? Is comparable with the phone? Is in your iTunes library on your computer?

Hi. When I tried to download updates for my Iphone 3G I lost all my music on my iphone and I can't find it anywhere on itunes. Any ideas please?

I just can't seem to find all the music I bought on itunes since I downloaded updates for my iphone today. I followed the suggestions in the support area, but it's still a mystery where it's gone. Any ideas please?
Thanks

I take it you didn't transfer purchases BEFORE you attempted to update your phone? If that's the case and you live in the US you can look at your purchase history and re-download the purchased music using iTunes. If you're outside the US, you're out of luck.

IPhoto crashed during transfer, deleted photos from my iPhone and I can't find them anywhere. :( ^

I was transfering over 4k photos and videos from my iPhone to my iPhoto.
It said it was done and asked my if I wanted to deleted the files. I deleted, once I needed space on my iPhone. The thing is, it took a lot of time deleting untill the crash message appeared.
iPhoto deleted over 2k photos from my phone, I open the iPhoto now and it doesn't show me a single photo.
When I "get info" on the library it says the file has over 10gb, where are these photos? What do I do now ?
I tryed the cmd+option and restoring or whatever, didn't work, and now the "faces" keeps searching for something.
someone please heeeellp.
thanks

When you delete any data from your phone that you are syncing with iCloud, it deletes it from iCloud. When you deleted the contacts from your phone, they were deleted from your iCloud account.
Did you back up your phone while you still had that contacts on it, or do you have your contacts backed up anywhere else?

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so it won't show for re-downloading. If you haven't got a copy of it anywhere (if it's on your computer's iTunes then it should be in the Books part of your library) and it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Just bought a new iPhone and I can't back up to iCloud.

Just bought a new iPhone and I can't back up to iCloud. The error message says "Not enough storage". When I go to Settings>iCloud, it gives me 2 devices, my old iphone 4s has 3.5GB, the new 4s has 0KB. When I go to delete the old backup the warning says "Do you want to turn off backup and delete all backup data from iCloud?" That is definitely not what I want to do. How do I keep my data from my old phone? All I am backing up are contacts and calendar, my photos have never been backed up on iCloud. Don't get why that is taking up all the storage.

Deleting the backup from your old phone only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud. It doesn't do anything to the data on your phone, or the iCloud data your are syncing with iCloud. If you no longer need the backup of your other phone you can go ahead and delete it to free up space in your iCloud account.

I've lost Audiobook on my iPhone. On music more I get compilations, composers, and Genres. Somewhere on the iPhone is an audiobook I've downloaded but I can't find it. t

Composers, Genres but no longer Audiobooks. That clasification is absent from my iTunes as well. I have downloaded an audiobook to my IPhone and it shows in iTunes when I click on "On This iPhone" in ITunes but I can't find it on the iPhone itself. What to do?

It will only be where you put it.
If it is on the ipad then transfer it to your computer, File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, then sync it to your iphone

I bought a song on my iPhone and now it wont download onto iTunes on my computer.

I bought a song on my iPhone and now it wont download onto iTunes on my computer, even when I checked for available downloads all it says is, "All purchases have been downloaded for ths Apple ID". What should i do?

Hello rahulseth,
I would recommend for these symptoms that you delete the song and re download it using this article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That should resolve any issues with the downloaded file.
All the best,
Sterling
